Dark Cell: Remastered - Development roadmap and current features


Greetings!

Today I’d like to show a list of features that will come in Dark Cell: Remastered version,including those that have already been implemented and those that are yet to come.

NOTE: THESE FEATURES ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE IN THE CURRENT, DOWNLOADABLE VERSION!

Current features implemented in the upcoming Remastered version:

Interface and graphical changes:

  • Revamped lightning system - new, dynamic lights that affect brightness of objects, giving a more realistic feel

  • Various bugs regarding the lighting system have been fixed, including the black surface overdraw

  • Revamped character view - the view is now much closer and is focused solely on the main character

Gameplay changes:

  • Updated flashlight for the main character - now it can only be used to emit light in two directions. The light will also get dimmer over time if no batteries are used

  • Complete overhaul of all monsters - this includes new graphical look, new sounds and behaviour of all monsters

  • Cutscenes - they will greatly enhance the story and atmosphere of the game

  • Numerous animations for all kinds of interactive objects - from player picking up batteries to monsters swinging their claws

  • New game ending

  • Various objects added to specific levels for visual purposes

Other features and fixes:

  • Elevator controls updated - you will now use ‘W’ to move the elevator up or ‘S’ to move the elevator down

  • Several puzzles made easier to solve

  • Several sprites are now sharper

  • Revamped sounds with updated quality

Upcoming features in the Remastered version:

  • new menu

  • new music

  • a couple of new levels with new puzzles

  • more bug fixes

Sadly, there is no release date yet. I want to make sure that everything works as planned without rushing the update, but once I’m close to finishing it, there will be a definite release date announced.

Cheers!

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
